Advice needed to choose between TLB rental & JD850 purchase. Can this compact utility handle the following: extend & widen a gravel driveway from 100 to 350 ft, dig out a new basement 24ft by 36ft with one side open to daylight, build a new "mound" septic system and dig lines to where our 1917 house will be moved, dig three 3ft by 80ft by 6ft deep trenches for geothermal "loops" and lines, plus future mowing duties on four acres of gently rolling pasture. The tractor is now sitting by the roadside with a 4sale sign. What would be a fair range of prices for: 1986, JD75 loader, JD snowblower, backblade, turf tires on rear (cracked from age/weather) need replacement? Includes engine block heater (vital for six months of Minnesota winters). Am I being reasonable to consider this unit, or is it a "toy" as my wife seems to think. Thanks for any experiences and/or advice. Tom
